There have been a lot of emails back and forth with the design process updates, but nothing here on the blog, so I thought I'd make a quick post...

All designs are in and checked EXCEPT for some details I am working out with Jeff. As soon as that's complete I will create counters and randomly assign gates and post a walk around!

Forgot to mention... 30 skill points for your driver - max 10 in any one skill.

I had mentioned already it was driver only - no gunner.

Arena details

Arena details

The chosen arena is from Arenas 2 - from the Kickstarter - Pershing Arena in Lincoln Nebraska. It has eight gates already so it fits the format perfectly.

A big thank you to entrant and Patreon William Tetley for drawing this out electronically!

Outside walls are 50 DP and 15' high. Solid obstacles are 100 DP each, 10' high and fixed in place. The six bunkers are 4' high, blocking all weapons fire except for turrets, and have 25 DP. Pedestrians can stand behind one and fire braced across it, gaining a -2 to hit from those on the other side. A pedestrian that has not fired yet this turn can drop behind it and be completely hidden.

Gates are 25 DP each and slide left to right (as coming into the arena). They take 2 turns to open or close.

The turrets each have an ATG in each to discourage breaking the rules. The only time they will fire in this event is if a player makes it known they are conceding and someone fires on them anyway. In that event, the ATG will fire (Gunner +3, stationary firing). If someone concedes but then decides to fire, they will be fired upon. Note that if someone concedes they will be worth zero points in a kill. They will likewise NOT be able to score points, but are welcome to try and take out the competition (at the risk of ATG fire...).

Division 35 - Classic Rules only

Rules are a free download from Steve Jackson Games - http://sjgames.com/car-wars/games/classic/img/car-wars-classic-rules.pdf

Ram plates are NOT allowed - anything else in Classic is allowed - you are allowed a driver only.

The winner will be the player with the most points. You will receive 40 points for a full kill, 20 points for a mobility kill and 10 points for killing a pedestrian. If you are on foot yourself then you will score DOUBLE points.

When you are killed you do NOT lose any points. First player to 200 points wins! If the event ends without someone getting 200 points then the winner will be the person with the MOST points.

It is possible to get to a point where the winner is clear and there's no need for everyone to die. If we reach that point I will end the event and declare the winner.

The following people are Patreon supporters or have made a sizable donation in the past and have a 'reserved seat' at this event - 

Billy H

Martin Marquis

John Christensen

Joseph Reynolds

Jeff DuBois

John Blaylock

William Tetley

I still need a reply within 48 hours to confirm that you want to participate in this event.

For the eighth spot, Nicholas Lovell was offered but he asked to be bumped to MH46 due to bad timing. Because of this, Gil is being invited to play. I need a reply within 48 hours that you are confirming your spot.

After all eight players have been confirmed you will be allowed 72 hours to turn in a design.

Good luck! And have fun!

Also - I have some people that were spectating the last event. I am keeping them on the spectator list for this one. If anyone else would like to be on it, please let me know.

Details for event

Details for the event...

First, sorry for the delay in getting this started. It's always a little delay between events while I prepare the map, get designs checked, etc. This time it fell during the holidays so me being out of pocket increased the delay. Sorry about that!

The chosen arena is from Arenas 2 - from the Kickstarter - Pershing Arena in Lincoln Nebraska. It has eight gates already so it fits the format perfectly.

This event will NOT be 'last man standing.' I am still working out the details on the points...

I need to scan the arena and convert it to Photoshop so I can get it setup and ready. Once that is done and the details are set I will get a confirmation from those that are invited to this event. Division will be 35.
